Chapter 420

In terms of risk, she should have refused, but Lin Ye chose her to accompany him, and she did not want to live up to this trust.

Leng Shuang looked at the two of them and did not say anything more.

The five people walked in the courtyard for a while longer, then left one by one and returned to the villa.

On the fourth floor of the villa, a pair of eyes had been staring at the garden. After the players disappeared from view, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

She took a key from her bag, looked at this key, and slowly revealed a smile.

She pushed open the window, and her tall body slipped out of the window.

She wanted to give those guests a little surprise.

After the five people reunited at the villa, they immediately began to act.

Passerby and the career woman went to the kitchen first to ensure the girl was in the kitchen, while Leng Shuang came to the second-floor stairs. If the blonde young lady came down, she would break a ceramic cup to warn Lin Ye and Asuna.

After arriving at their positions,

Lin Ye and Asuna walked down the stairs leading to the basement one after the other.

Compared to the height of the stairs to the second floor, the depth of these stairs leading to the basement entrance was deeper.

Both of them unconsciously lightened their footsteps.

Finally,

the two arrived at the entrance to the basement.

Asuna nodded toward Lin Ye, indicating that she had made full preparations.

Lin Ye took out the key he had obtained from the maid's room and slowly inserted it into the door lock.

'Click...'

After the key was inserted, Lin Ye turned it, but found that the door lock would not turn at all.

This key was fake, it was indeed fake. When he got it, he felt that this important item was too easy to obtain.

This was a lure placed in plain sight.

Lin Ye pondered whether it was the maid or the blonde young lady, or perhaps both knew. With insufficient information, he could not make an accurate judgment.

Asuna had a puzzled look.

Lin Ye shook his head.

Asuna took it over and turned it, finding that the door lock did not move at all.

What was going on?

Was the key wrong?

But at this time, slight footsteps appeared at the stairs connecting the basement and the first floor.

Very light, but for the players, these footsteps were already very obvious.

At this point in time, it could absolutely not be other players.

So...

Asuna's back felt cold, and her eyes sent a question to Lin Ye.

What should be done?

What should be done next?

Asuna only saw Lin Ye smile slightly and make a gesture to indicate 'close your eyes'.

Asuna was puzzled, but at the critical moment, she chose to believe Lin Ye and closed her eyes. The two had already established a foundation of trust, and in the current situation where there was no conflict of interest between the two sides, they would not turn against each other and trap the other.

The next instant, Asuna felt her hand being held by Lin Ye.

This was her first physical contact with a person of the opposite sex.

So this is what a man's hand feels like?

Asuna's heart palpitated, but she did not struggle.

"Open your eyes!" Lin Ye's voice came.

"Hmm?"

Was it over?

Asuna opened her eyes, and the scenery in her field of vision startled her. She did not know when she had actually arrived at the reception hall.

She subconsciously wanted to ask, but was met with Lin Ye's slight smile, and she swallowed the urge to ask.

Asking about a player's skill is a major taboo and easily causes resentment from players.

Asuna knew well that her relationship with Lin Ye was not enough to reach the point of being heart-to-heart, so the act of asking about skill privacy was inappropriate.

But she already had a guess; it was a skill similar to teleportation.

No wonder Lin Ye could appear on the third floor from the fourth floor in the blink of an eye.

This skill, it makes people envious!

If one had this teleportation skill, the survival probability would at least double.

At the same time, she realized why Lin Ye would rather take her, a level 1 player, than take the high-level player Leng Shuang, who was level 4. On one hand, Lin Ye had the ability to protect himself, and on the other hand, Lin Ye did not want his precious skill to be exposed to the view of a player like Leng Shuang.

Lin Ye trusted her more.

This made Asuna touched, and while sighing that Lin Ye had a good eye, she also guessed why Lin Ye held such high trust in her?

It couldn't just be because of this day of contact, right!

Could it be... he likes her?

"Do you know who it is?" Asuna put down her chaotic thoughts and asked.

"Let's go take a look and we'll know."

Lin Ye pointed in the direction of the basement.

The two left the reception hall one after the other and walked over. Before long, they saw the blonde young lady Aiqi Carter walking into the hall with a gloomy face.

She saw the two, and a flash of astonishment passed through her eyes.

"Miss Carter, did you just come up from the basement?"

Lin Ye asked with a puzzled tone.

"Hmm."

The blonde young lady stared at Lin Ye, seemingly wanting to see something from Lin Ye's expression.

"Do you need help?"

"Help?"

"Generally speaking, isn't the basement the place where wealthy families store fine wine? Miss Carter, aren't you trying to move wine out of the basement?"

"No."

"Regrettable, I thought I could taste the fine wine treasured by Miss Carter."

"..."

She looked at Lin Ye and continued to speak, "Mr. Zero seems to be very interested in the basement?"

"Since Miss Carter says so, I am indeed interested. I wonder if you could take me to the basement to take a look? To satisfy my curiosity."

"Sorry, no one is allowed to enter the basement without my father's permission. If you want to go to the basement, sir, please wait until my father returns."

"What a pity."

Lin Ye shrugged, "It looks like I can't go to the basement."

"If my father returns and gives permission." Aiqi said with a calm tone.

"Sigh!"

The blonde young lady walked to Lin Ye and stretched out her hand toward Lin Ye, "Give it to me!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Ye hesitated and placed his hand into the blonde young lady's hand.

The scene was silent.

Not to mention Asuna, who was stunned, even the person involved, Aiqi Carter, was stunned.

"Don't you want my hand?"
